Frequently Asked Questions
I have an animal; can I donate it to The Science Center?
We at The Science Center do not accept any live animal donations.
Does The Science Center build exhibits for community organizations or other museums?
Yes, we do! The Science Center does custom dioramas, hands-on science exhibits, sculptures, and even signage. To inquire about a custom exhibit, contact our Executive Director Connie Adams.
Why are you always cleaning when I visit?
If you have any children, you understand that cleaning is a full-time job. Most of our cleaning tasks are handled by local community volunteers, some of which have disabilities.

We also know the importance of a clean environment; therefore, we strive to maintain the highest level of cleanliness.
